Easy News addon

Permalink
I added the easy news item to my website but am having some trouble with it. My guess is that's it's not all installed or not installed properly. I spent ages looking at the video that goes with the install and after another period of trawling through the forums I think i have isolated the problem. The video features an older version of the dashboard with the sidebar or whatever it was called and the easy news 'icon' appears there to add new news to the site and then the easy news list lets you organise this news. However on the current dashboard I cannot see the add the news part, only a helpfile (linking to the video). When I go to the list of blocks installed I only find the easy new list. I hope I am being clear here, still getting used to using C5 so i may be doing something wrong but other add ons I have tried gave me no issues, at least i could try them out. I have considered buying a similar add on but am concerned I'd have the same problem

I finally twigged to what was wrong. The easy news bit gets added as a single page on the dashboard.

HMM you got further than I did (I saw the Easy News Helpfile) but could not see the single page you refer to - any chance of a screenshot ?

Hi thanks for the message. There is an option on my dashboard for single pages (in the Pages & Themes section) When I click on this a list of these pages opens up and there in one for the Easy News and for the help. See screenshot attached.

I got Easy News running but for some the news page is blank on both IE and Firefox (I currently use Chrome as my default browser). I thought, because I was using Chrome that the page was displaying by default and I have refreshed it several times and it still displays okay on Chrome but nothing on IE or Firefox. I stand corrected, it's blank in Chrome as well (once I exited and restarted Chrome the page disappears)

I am beginning to feel like jackass here, or at least unusually dumb. Now the page I added works and I added another and it works. So kind moderator can spare my blushes here and just delete this whole thread:-(

Except this thread helped me out. Seems Easy News works a lot differently under 5.6+. Thx Mostrim.
